When a modal secondary window is open in the application in Internet Explorer or Safari, JAWS and VoiceOver, respectively, can still access the controls (which should be blocked) in the background of the application.

Use a different browser, such as Firefox.

With Firefox and Chrome, JAWS does not correctly read word by word in the code editor when there are blank lines or lines that contain leading spaces.

Read line by line or character by character.

With Firefox, VoiceOver can read the code in the code editor but only when you first move the focus into the code editor and only from the beginning to the end. VoiceOver cannot read the code word by word or line by line, and it cannot read as you type.

Use Safari.

In Chrome, when you tab into the code editor, regardless of where the focus is first placed, when you begin typing, the focus moves to the beginning of line 1.

Press the right arrow key, which moves the focus to line 1. Then move the cursor to the desired location.

You cannot use the keyboard to access the links in the Help for the autocomplete feature of the code editor.

No workaround is available.

You cannot use the keyboard to resize the Help pop-up window for the autocomplete feature of the code editor.

No workaround is available.

No workaround is available.

JAWS and VoiceOver do not notify you when more than one autocomplete list is available in the code editor.

No workaround is available.

The previous tab, next tab, and list of tab buttons are displayed when the work area contains more primary tabs than can be displayed at one time. These buttons are not accessible by keyboard.

No workaround is available.

The screen reader does not read the column heading when it reads the contents of a table cell.

No workaround is available.

With Chrome, sometimes JAWS incorrectly announces that each item in a tab panel or toolbar is item “one of one.”

Use the arrow keys to navigate to other items in the group.

The Ctrl+P keyboard shortcut does not print the log or results correctly when you use Internet Explorer.

Use the print button on the tab's toolbar.

Alternatively, use a different browser, such as Firefox or Chrome.

When you zoom in, no scroll bars are displayed for the browser window.

Use your operating system's magnifier to magnify the application window.

With Chrome, JAWS cannot read the File Shortcuts list.

Use a different browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.

With Chrome, screen readers cannot access the perspective drop-down menu.

Use a different browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.

In OS, when you are on the Code tab, pressing Option+1, Option+2, Option+3, and Option+4 on the keyboard does not create the upside down exclamation point, the trademark symbol, the pound (currency) symbol, and the cent sign, respectively.

Use the browser’s Special Characters window to insert these characters. In most browsers, you can open the Special Characters window either from the browser’s Edit menu or by pressing Cmd+Option+T.

Alternatively, you can enter the Unicode value for the character.

In Firefox, if you select the Zoom Text Only option, the controls in the application do not zoom with the labels and the labels become unreadable after a certain degree of magnification.

Turn off the Zoom Text Only option in Firefox.

You cannot use the keyboard to scroll through the contents of the Help window.

Click the content area of the Help window and then use the arrow keys to scroll.

Note: After you click the content area of the Help window, you can no longer use the keyboard to close the window in Firefox for Windows and Chrome.

In Internet Explorer, instructional text is missing for the text box in the Filter Table Rows window.

The instruction should say, "Enter a filter expression. See the Help for syntax information."

JAWS does not always read the check box list at the top of the Columns pane in the table viewer.

No workaround is available.

You cannot use the keyboard to move the tabs in the work area into different positions.

No workaround is available.

JAWS does not correctly read the contents of the code editor when navigating with the arrow keys (for example, when you use the up and down arrows to navigate by line). This behavior tends to appear when entering keywords such as DATA= or COLOR=.

In the Preferences window, deselect the Enable color coding check box. Color coding can interfere with the proper function of the code editor in Google Chrome.

The HTML LANG attribute is not defined for SAS Studio.

When possible, change the screen reader to the correct language.

When SAS Studio is used in Internet Explorer 11 with JAWS, severe performance slowdowns can occur.

Use Firefox.
